Vehicle Description
1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet – 1600SC Engine, Fresh Restoration, Rare Final-Year Drop-Top
The “C” was the final series of Porsche’s foundational 356 series, and just about 3,200 of the 16,668 made were the Cabriolet model. This would be Porsche’s last full convertible model until the 911 Cabriolet in 1983. Almost everything was replaced in the car, including the floorpan, top and headliner, and chrome—all supplied by Stoddard Porsche Parts. The original 75-horsepower 1600C engine has been replaced with the 90-horsepower 1600SC engine from a later 912 (the four-cylinder version of the 911), enhancing performance while preserving classic character.

This 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet represents the pinnacle of the original Porsche 356 lineage—the final and most refined iteration of the model that put Porsche on the map. With only about 3,200 Cabriolets produced, this rare drop-top benefits from a comprehensive restoration including new floorpan, top, chrome, and interior, all from quality Stoddard parts. The thoughtful upgrade to the 90-horsepower 1600SC engine from a later 912 provides extra zest over the original 75-horsepower unit, while Dell’Orto carburetors and a recent valve job ensure it runs beautifully. The new four-wheel disc brakes, fresh suspension components (kingpins, link pins, bushings, and shocks), and clean underside mean this 356C stops and handles as well as it goes. With new upholstery, a tight new convertible top, working gauges and heat, and a straight-driving chassis, this Cabriolet is ready for top-down motoring and vintage rallies alike. It’s a truly special piece of Porsche history—the last of the 356s and the last full convertible Porsche offered for nearly two decades.
